Sir Dustins Birthday

This week's card is all about knights and dragons and birthdays oh my! 
"Sir Dustin" is ready to take on the world along with his dragon friend for back up of course! 
These two are the perfect pair for a masculine, fairy tale, knight and dragon themed Birthday card or party invitation. 



After colouring the stamp with alcohol markers I hand fussy cut it using an xacto knife and trusty maincure scissors. Next I set about designing my castle. Distress ink, a brick pattern stencil and grey card stock made this idea come together quite quickly. What didn't go quickly was cutting it down to size, and cutting the "castle top" - this took more then a few tries but I think I have something acceptable. For fun, I also added a "tower" that is actually curved so it pops off the page a little bit. I added some grass and tufts of grass and a light blue sky that actually has clouds in it from an embossing folder but they aren't showing up well.
Sir Dustin and his trusty dragon are added with 3D foam pop dots just for fun. 
A bold Happy Birthday sentiment, a flag with it's own flag pole and some enamel dots finish off my card.
